5111.894 [Effective Until 8/31/2010] Assisted living waiting lists - notice of admission - eligibility.
The state administrative agency may establish one or more waiting lists for the assisted living program. Only individuals eligible for the medicaid program may be placed on a waiting list.
Each month, each area agency on aging shall determine whether any individual who resides in the area that the area agency on aging serves and is on a waiting list for the assisted living program has been admitted to a nursing facility. If an area agency on aging determines that such an individual has been admitted to a nursing facility and that there is a vacancy in a residential care facility participating in the assisted living program that is acceptable to the individual, the agency shall notify the long-term care consultation program administrator serving the area in which the individual resides about the determination. The administrator shall determine whether the assisted living program is appropriate for the individual and whether the individual would rather participate in the assisted living program than continue residing in the nursing facility. If the administrator determines that the assisted living program is appropriate for the individual and the individual would rather participate in the assisted living program than continue residing in the nursing facility, the administrator shall so notify the state administrative agency.
On receipt of the notice from the administrator, the state administrative agency shall approve the individual’s enrollment in the assisted living program regardless of any waiting list for the assisted living program, unless the enrollment would cause the assisted living program to exceed any limit on the number of individuals who may participate in the program as set by the United States secretary of health and human services when the medicaid waiver authorizing the program is approved. Each quarter, the state administrative agency shall certify to the director of budget and management the estimated increase in costs of the assisted living program resulting from enrollment of individuals in the assisted living program pursuant to this section.
